Barry Allen is traveling to a future that he hopes to prevent in the next all-new episode of The Flash.

The episode, titled “The Once and Future Flash,” features Barry’s bold attempt to travel to the future and figure out a way to prevent Iris from dying just a mere month in Barry’s own reality. Barry will attempt to discover Savitar’s true identity in order to take him down and save Iris.

Also in the episode, which is directed by The Flash‘s own Tom Cavanagh, the team hunts down Killer Frost in the present.

Here’s the synopsis (catch the photos in our gallery above):

TOM CAVANAGH DIRECTS; BARRY TRAVELS TO THE FUTURE TO SAVE IRIS — Barry (Grant Gustin) travels to the future to find out Savitar’s still unknown identity in the hopes of saving Iris (Candice Patton). Upon his arrival in 2024, Barry encounters future versions of his Team Flash friends, who, following the death of Iris, have become very different people, profoundly impacted by their showdown with Savitar. It will be up to Barry to infuse a sense of hope back into the team, as he proves to be hero his future friends have been waiting for. Meanwhile, back in 2017, the hunt for Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) continues. Tom Cavanagh directed the episode written by Carina Adly MacKenzie (#319). Original airdate 4/25/2017.
